Three In One Day.

A busy Sunday it is! Got three invites for the day and good thing time isn't a problem. :)

First Event. The 21st Annual Benefactors-Scholars' Gathering. Yeah! I'm a scholar of CHED, this was my first and last time to go in this gathering and I think I had fun. Got a group picture with fellow CHED scholars but it was not yet posted in the ADZU gallery or I think they'll not post it anymore so I got nothing to show off. HAHA.

The programme. When I read this, I was surprised to see Mr. Holst name and patiently waited for his speech because me and my fellow bloggers will meet him later at 2pm.

After lunch at Jollibee, we were given this survey questionnaire and if we answer this we'll get a free ice cream so tada~ because ICE CREAM's free! 

Our free Vanilla Ice Cream :9

Second Event. Bloggers' Meet-up with Mr. Holst of the US Embassy. Happy to be one of the invited. Sorry, I came in late and so I did not properly introduced myself and I would be disrespectful if I cut in their conversation just to introduce myself. The meeting? gathering? ended well.

Our giveaways. A US Embassy Pin and a magnetic Bookmark

Group Picture! XD

A chance to have some HONEYS group picture. :D

Third Event. The 50th birthday of Engr. Ruiz my father's friend. This venue is same with he blogger's meet-up XD.

Look at that! Boiled eggs on the center of the table. The celebrant told us that those eggs symbolizes his health and that there are 50 pieces of eggs and that if we eat those eggs we are helping him to live for another 50 years. We were like Oooh when he told that. 

Dinner! Lechon! Yumm!

After dinner, my father and I toured in the new hotel of the Garden, we took photos of it because the design was GREAT and was caught by the clerk. He told us that it's forbidden but it's okay if there is a subject in the photo so I told my father to posed. XD In the photo where my dad is, I learned that the ceiling is just a wallpaper, I thought it's only a plywood painted beautifully. LMAO.

A full Sunday sched isn't it?! I'm so knock-out when I arrived home. 

What do you think of the new Garden Hotel? So BEAUTIFUL isn't it? 

Road Trip.

It's Thursday! It's time for operation PRC signing at AYALA Health Center so we went there at 10 am bringing the group's papers and the donation. Got my last manage case here YEAH! showing you some pictures I took from the road trip.

Take out snacks from Jollibee. :9

Going back to town.

Tiring but fulfilling day.

Sweet 16.

Hey guys! Remember this picture from my last post? Yes? HAHA. These balloons were from my inaanak's first birthday. Her parents gave these to us and I'll show you where we used these.

------------------------------------------------------------

Sweet 16. My sister just turned 16 last March 6. Sweet 16 parties are popular in the United States and Canada as well as Western nations and now in the Philippines. I searched up sweet 16 parties and found out that there are traditions like the 18th birthday parties----the candle-lighting ceremony, the shoe ceremony, tiara ceremony, father-daughter dance and the video montage.

For the Candle-lighting ceremony.

Each of the 16 candles holds a special meaning

• The first candle is for the girl's parents.
• The second candle is for the siblings. (If there are no siblings, then this candle can represent the grandparents.)
• Candles 3, 4, 5 and 6 are for the rest of the family members.
• Candles 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are for friends.
• Candle 15 is for the girl's best friend or friends.
• The 16th candle is for a significant male, such as a boyfriend or good friend.
• Some add a 17th candle which represents good luck

For the Shoe Ceremony.

 The girl would traditionally be wearing flat shoes, such as slippers, and the father ceremoniously helps her into her new high heels. This is symbolic of the girl transitioning into a woman.

For the Tiara Ceremony.

This ceremony is similar to the shoe ceremony, except the mother approaches with a tiara instead of shoes. She places it on her daughters head to symbolize her becoming a woman. Sometimes this is combined with the shoe ceremony, so that two people approach the birthday girl, one with a pillow with high heels, and the other with a pillow with a tiara.

For the Father-daughter Dance.

The father-daughter dance is a tradition that is also frequently performed at weddings.The girl and her father dance to a slow-jazz song while everyone sits and watches. This is usually the first song of the night.

For the Video Montage.

At high end sweet sixteens, a DJ often brings along several televisions or a projector to show a video montage set to music of the birthday girl containing pictures starting from when she was a baby and getting older, usually ending with pictures of her in her sweet sixteen dress.This is either made by the DJ with photos provided from the family of the birthday girl, by the parents, or by a sibling. The guests can either sit down and watch this montage, or it could be playing in the background while the guests dance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

But, we did not go with the traditions instead because her class went on an outing/overnight on the 5th and they'll be back at lunch of the 6th so we made a birthday surprise for her. We made a tarpaulin, thanks to Rhea's for this beautiful picture from their JS PROM; ordered the piano cake at Kimlyn's and the balloons from D' Balloon Station, Inc. So, my mom told their moderator to go at our house before they'll go home from their overnight. And here are some pictures of our surprise. XD

The celebrant with our surprise!

 And here's US! Celebrating Joy's Birthday plus the ENDING of our FINALS. XD
*see the where we put those balloons from Ella's first birthday party?? hihi.

Tol.

Tol means a Child's First Birthday in Korea and my post relates to this. Last night, I went to my inaanak's first birthday held at Sapphire Ball, Astoria Hotel. Her theme for her birthday is POOH and his Friends, somewhat not appropriate for her because she's a girl and Pooh is a boy? right? Well, but I liked the venue, the set-up, the balloons, the games and of course the food. HAHA! So, I'll show you some photos from last night's birthday.

I like the balloon rainbows, sun and the clouds.

Her cake! Yummy!

Free ice cream and Free cotton candy.

Two of her birthday photos flashed on the screen. 

TRIVIA: That blouse she's wearing, I gave it to her as a Xmas gift

But, I like this picture the MOST coz she's so adorable in here. XD

Her Giveaways. 

Oh. Look! Her first game. :)

They're not ready but I am! HA!

She's tired already. :(

Got this piglet cupcake. 

TRIVIA: I gave her a piglet stuffed toy

THIS!!!!! read this in my next post. 

GOOD NIGHT! :*
